Using U-Boot to boot VxWorks from NOR flash on LS1043/LS1046

Hello,

In my project I intend to boot a VxWorks image from NOR flash with the LS1043/LS1046 processors, initially from the LS1043ARDB and LS1046ARDB boards.

I would like to know what is the process for doing that? Do I need to prepend a special header to the image for the U-Boot to work properly, or do I just need to flash my VxWorks binary image to a certain address in flash as is?

Is there a document describing how to use U-Boot for booting an image from NOR?

Thanks in advance,

Yaron

P.S.

My guess is the fact that it's a VxWorks image doesn't really matter it could be any binary image compiled for ARMv8.

Please address your questions to the Wind River - normally such information is provided by the OS vendor.

Ok let me rephrase the question then.

When booting any image from NOR by U-boot (not necessarily vxworks) does U-boor require. that I prepend the image with any information for it to be able to boot the image?n

Please note that U-Boot is not an NXP product - its home (where you could pose your questions) is here:
